Install the app
Install Simplio3D from the Shopify App Store and connect your account from Apps → Simplio3D. It works on any store, including a client’s.
On the Shopify App Store
A Shopify 3D product configurator that reaches the cart
Install Simplio3D from the Shopify App Store and add a 3D configurator to your theme with blocks. Shoppers personalise the product in 3D, and the cart can charge the price the configurator calculated.
No credit card required
How the Shopify integration works
Blocks in your theme
Place the 3D viewer, options, price, summary, Add to cart and a quote form in Shopify’s theme editor, in your store’s own style.
The configured price in the cart
Choose per product whether the cart charges its Shopify price or the price the configurator calculated, on every Shopify plan.
Minimal permissions
The app reads products and writes draft orders, plus cart transforms only if you turn on Cart price and picture. It asks for none of Shopify’s protected customer fields.
Draft Order and SKU-matched cart
A Draft Order carries a price override and a configuration summary. On Enterprise, priced variants are matched to Shopify variants by SKU in a multi-line cart.
Or use your own app
If you own the store and created the app in the same Shopify organisation, connect it with a Client ID and secret instead.

Charge the configured price, not the catalogue price
The hard part of putting a configurator on Shopify is not the 3D: it is making sure the number the shopper saw is the number they pay. In the Simplio3D app, each connected product has one Price in the cart: its Shopify price, or the configured price. Choose the configured price and, for a Configurator project priced in your store’s currency, the cart and checkout charge what the configurator calculated, on every Shopify plan, and the order keeps a picture of the configuration. With the Shopify price, the configurator shows no price of its own. Viewer and Modular projects use the Shopify product price.
SKU-matched carts for real catalogues
If your configured products map onto real Shopify variants, SKU-matched cart mode resolves those SKUs live at checkout and builds a multi-line Shopify cart from them — so inventory, reporting and fulfilment keep working the way they already do. The editor validates as you author: SKUs are checked against the Admin API and shown with a badge for whether each one exists, is unique, or fails. It is an Enterprise feature and requires SKUs on your priced variants.
A product customizer inside your theme
The app’s blocks put the configurator in Shopify’s theme editor, styled by your theme: the 3D viewer in place of the product images, the options, the configured price, a summary, Add to cart and a quote form. A shopper can type a name or number, upload an image, recolour a pattern or make a design in the Design Canvas, and it is painted on the 3D model as they work, within the limits you set. What they chose is written on the cart line and the order. Modular projects open in the full configurator through a Customize button.
Draft it with AI, then approve the store steps
If the store is already connected, Generate with AI can draft a configurator from a product description and propose the Shopify product link and checkout mode, which each wait for your approval. It plans around the 3D models in your library and cannot connect a store or create a model. On a large catalogue, an AI assistant can then check logic or calculate prices against the real project.
How to add a 3D configurator to Shopify
Install the app, build the configurator, set the price, add the blocks.
Install the Simplio3D app
Install Simplio3D from the Shopify App Store, open Apps → Simplio3D and connect your Simplio3D account, or create one. If you own the store and the app in the same organisation, your own app with a Client ID and secret works too.
Build the configurator
Upload the 3D model, create materials, add the option blocks shoppers will use, and apply conditional logic so only valid combinations can be selected.
Set up pricing
Use a base price, price groups, price tables and formulas so the total reflects the exact configuration rather than a starting SKU.
Choose the price in the cart
For each product, choose in the Simplio3D app whether the cart charges its Shopify price or the configured price. Draft Order mode carries the price and a summary into a pending order instead, and on Enterprise the SKU-matched cart builds a multi-line cart from your SKUs.
Add it to your theme
Click Add Configurator to Product Page in the app: the theme editor opens with the Configurator options block already added. Save it, or add the other Simplio3D blocks to build your own layout. With your own app, the embed snippet goes on the product page instead.

Versatile, easy to use and easy to deploy 3D Configurator. Super simple to use and create configurations on.
John BergmannCEO · Waterloo Healthcare
I have used other similar platforms and find Simplio3D the most intuitive way to build a configurator. I'm not a CAD engineer so I wanted a solution without features I couldn't understand.
Joshua TisoMarketing · Thermogreen AG
It was so simple to get started, and the results have been very impressive. We now have it live on four different platforms.

Frequently asked questions
The Simplio3D app asks to read products, which links them to your projects and checks SKUs, and to write draft orders, for Draft Order checkout. Turning on Cart price and picture asks for one more, cart transforms, which changes how cart items look and what they cost, and is handed back when you turn it off. It asks for none of Shopify’s protected customer fields: names, emails, phone numbers and addresses.
One Simplio3D workspace connects to one Shopify store at a time. Connecting another store disconnects the first, so use a separate workspace per client store.
Each connected product has one Price in the cart, chosen in the Simplio3D app. With the configured price, the standard cart and checkout charge what the configurator calculated, for a Configurator project priced in your store’s currency. With the Shopify product price, they charge the product’s own price. In Draft Order mode the order carries a price override and a summary instead.
An Enterprise mode that matches every priced variant in your project to a Shopify variant by SKU at checkout time, then redirects the shopper to a multi-line Shopify cart.
The editor validates them against the Shopify Admin API as you author, showing a badge for whether each SKU exists, is unique, or fails validation.
No. Connecting the store, building the configurator and adding it to your theme are all done through the app and the editor.
Yes. Shoppers can type a name or number, upload an image or make a design on the 3D model, within the characters, file types and sizes you allow. Their choices go on the cart line and the order.
Yes. A Viewer project goes on the store in the same way, with no options to choose. It uses the Shopify product’s own price.
Starter is $29 a month or $290 a year, and Pro is $49 a month or $490 a year, chosen on Shopify’s plan page and billed on your store’s Shopify bill. Each starts with a 30-day free trial. If you already pay Simplio3D by card, nothing is charged through Shopify.
The blocks work in any Online Store 2.0 theme, which includes Dawn, Horizon and every Theme Store theme since 2021. On an older theme such as Debut, turn on Simplio3D on every connected product in the app: every product you connect then gets the configurator, with no blocks to add.
On WooCommerce instead?
The WooCommerce integration puts the configured product, with its 3D image and price, straight into your cart, with no plugin to install.
